It's already December.
Before you have time to look back, the winter holidays will come, and you should prepare for them in advance.
I love Christmas stories...
Here's how one of my favorites starts:
"Don't say you weren't warned! If the idea of Santa visiting naughty little boys doesn't appeal to you, and the idea of said boys being punished by Santa for being naughty all year is NOT appealing to you, then DO NOT read this story!
Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
… except for little Billy,
who was upstairs in bed jacking off!
...
The sleigh crossed over the frozen and snow covered St. Croix river, and began to drop down below the clouds in preparation for a landing. The red glow from the lead reindeer’s nose lit up the frosty clouds, and a Boeing 767 just coming out of the airport banked sharply to the left.
“Damn! That was a close one!” the jolly old elf with the reigns in hand swore. “What the hell are they doing flying around on Christmas Eve anyway? No one in his right mind takes off on a night like tonight!”
One of the reindeer near the back glanced over his shoulder and snorted.
“Oh shut up, Blitzen,” the driver snapped, “You work one night a year. Get over it.”
Blitzen ignored him.
